Tulip close-up

One of the tulips Clare planted this spring. I've never had the opportunity and the time to get [down in the dirt and] so close to the inside of a tulip until now…

The tulip genus is in the lily family; genus page at PhytoImages, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Tulipa&rank=genus
